Good morning, BroadwayWorld!

Broadway star Kelli Barrett currently stars on FX's Fosse/Verdon as Liza Minnelli. The series follows Bob Fosse, who a visionary filmmaker and one of theater's most influential choreographers and directors, and his wife Gwen Verdon, who is the greatest Broadway dancer of all time. Fosse/Verdon tells the story of these two brilliant, complicated individuals - the love they shared, the art they created, and the price they paid in the pursuit of greatness.

FX has released a preview for episode six of Fosse/Verdon, titled 'All I Care About Is Love'

During the airing of this week's Fosse/Verdon episode, Lin-Manuel Miranda was joined by Seth Rudetsky, Andrea Burns, Saeed Jones, and Julie Klausner.

FX has released photos from the fourth episode of FOSSE/VERDON titled 'Glory.' The episode features Margaret Qualley as Ann Reinking, Ahmad Simmons as Ben Vereen, and Norbert Leo Butz as Paddy Chayefsky.

Over the course of each Broadway season, unexpected and unique storylines inevitably pop up. This morning, with the announcement of the 2019 Tony Award nominations, a number of new narratives have come to life.

There is no Fosse without Verdon. FX takes audiences behind the scenes with the cast and crew to explore the unparalleled legacy of Gwen Verdon.

FX has released a preview for the third episode of Fosse/Verdon. As Gwen and Bob pursue separate projects, Gwen thinks back to the beginning of her career, and the circumstances that led her here.

Set in 1960s New York, Sweet Charity centres around unlucky-in-love dance hall hostess, Charity Hope Valentine who has dreams of making a better life for herself. This revival of Cy Coleman, Dorothy Fields and Neil Simon's show marks Josie Rourke's final production as Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse, and it's safe to say Rourke isn't going out quietly!

Brandon Uranowitz is no stranger to the Broadway stage. We took a moment to catch up with Uranowitz about the hard work he's put into his craft that's led to the string of great projects.

Like the rest of you, I've spent this week obsessing over 'Fosse Verdon' on FX and especially Gwen Verdon, played brilliantly on the series by Michelle Williams, in a performance that makes you want to reinvestigate what made Gwen so great. Sweet Charity is the perfect place to start. Gwen became a star and won her first Tony in a featured role in Can Can and she gained worldwide acclaim (and number 2 in a total of four Tonys) as Lola in Damn Yankees on stage and screen and of course there were many other shows and movies and TV appearances, but Sweet Charity was the show Bob Fosse (and Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields and Neil Simon) created just for her. She may have lost the Tony to Angela Lansbury in Mame, but Gwen got that iconic poster and all those songs.

The Ensemblist, the online advocate for talented artists working in theatre ensembles, launches a new podcast mini-series today: 'Fosse & Verdon.'

Sam Rockwell, who plays Bob Fosse on FX's Fosse/Verdon, stopped by Late Night with Seth Meyers to talk about his experience on the limited series.

FX has released a new preview for Fosse/Verdon's second episode, titled 'Who's Got The Pain?' The video shows Gwen and Bob during the beginnings of their relationship and showing the difference in their careers at the time they met.

The Actors Fund will honor Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winner Lily Tomlin with the Julie Harris Award for Artistic Achievement at the 23rd Annual Tony Awards Viewing Gala on Sunday, June 9, 2019 (3:30-9:00pm) at Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.

Atlantic Records has announced plans for a musical companion soundtrack tied to Fosse/Verdon, FX's much anticipated new limited series from the producers of Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen and The Americans.

Last night was the premiere of Fosse/Verdon on FX, and Michelle Gwen Verdon, sat down with Stephen Colbert to discuss the series!
